'''Videlectrix''' is a fictitious video game company that "makes" most of the games seen on [[homestarrunner.com]], first mentioned in the game [[Awexome Cross]]. The brains behind the company Videlectrix were the cover story for January 2005's issue of [[Stookley's Hundredaire Socialite]], as seen in an Easter egg of the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[part-time job]]. In reality, the [[Videlectrix Guys|employees]] seen are [[The Brothers Chaps]] in fake mustaches.

Good graphics are a must.

Videlectrix is a fictitious video game company that "makes" most of the games seen on homestarrunner.com, first mentioned in the game Awexome Cross. The brains behind the company Videlectrix were the cover story for January 2005's issue of Stookley's Hundredaire Socialite, as seen in an Easter egg of the Strong Bad Email part-time job. In reality, the employees seen are The Brothers Chaps in fake mustaches.

Videlectrix has three known subsidiaries, Videlectrix Films, which is responsible for the Peasant's Quest movie and Litigation Jackson, Videlectrix Media, which manufactures CD-Rs, the type of which is used for Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits, and Videlectrix Kidx, which produces the Taranchula metal detector used in the email buried and the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People game series. Although the board game company Boardelectrix and the toy company Kidelectrix have similar names to Videlectrix, the relationship between these three companies is unknown.

The website was originally located at "videlectrix.com", before it was moved to "homestarrunner.com/videlectrix". Between October and November 2019, the domain name "videlectrix.com" expired, and was briefly owned by squatters. Several pages, including the Games menu, still contained links to that site during this time. The domain now consists of a frame that shows the homestarrunner.com version of the website.

Main Page Descriptions

These are the descriptions shown on the main page of the Videlectrix website, Videlectrix.com.

>to life with "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive
>People!" We helped out with the whole entire game
>and not just one little part they kept in because
>the contract said they had to! Thanks Telltale!

July 16, 2007-April 9, 2008

>Ever bought a used game that didn't come with the instruction book?
>Hard to play, right? Well, that's just what Videlectrix did with
>"Where's an Egg?"! We bought this game overseas years ago and had
>no idea how to play it... UNTIL NOW!

March 12, 2007-July 16, 2007

>Here at Videmalectrix, some of our programmers
>don't have a whole heckuva lot to do
>sometimes. So we made them remake several
>of your favorite V'lectrix hits for use on the new
>Remote Controller Video Game System!

July 10, 2006-July 17, 2006

>We have had a lot of couple people tell us
>that they firmly believe 'Kid Speedy' will
>never come out. We Videlectrix types would like to
>take this opportunity to spit on those people.
>After eating a bunch of Skittles.

>Head to the 'Game Demos' section and play Kid Speedy!

April 24, 2006-July 10, 2006

>Oh, man. Here we go again. Those
>big 'ol brains at Videlectix.com have been
>trying to outdo themselves for some time
>now, and they've finally done it with a
>little game called 'Thy Dungeonman 3.'
>Utilising state-off-the-art amber monochrome
>computer visuals, TD3 will make you want
>to never stop playing this game!!!!!

March 21, 2005-April 24, 2006

>You may not believe it, but we've made yet
>another good-great game. We decided to call
>this one Stinkoman 20X6. Side scrolling action
>means hours of fun scrolling action!
>Springtime's around the corner, and
>coincidentally, so is "Your Videlectrix.com."

January 14-March 21, 2005

Fun Facts

Remarks

  • The quote "award winning artists such as: our art department" could be a reference to games from the Atari era in which employees remained nameless.

  • The metadata for all three Stinkoman tunes lists "Homestar Runner" as artist.
  • Videlectrix has often been treated as a legitimate video game developer in the real world. In one instance, they were even acknowledged by Nintendo Power magazine.

Glitches
